Pure Music

Rob Robinson of Channel D was showing off the company's newly minted Pure Music 3 by playing some vinly rips (ripped using Channel D's Pure Vinyl) of outrageously great music, loud. I mean, really, really fun music at realistic levels. Here's my top 3:

Of course there was more music played but I didn't write it down. Rob also played "Electric Ladyland" which he got from my USB stick. This is a rip of the Japanese import CD with the original UK album cover art and it happens to sound simply fantastic. There was also a mystery afoot....

The only thing we were told about the unnamed speakers in use was their cost: around $300. Rob likes to show at shows that you can get great sound for little money, something I appreciate. He certainly proved this point to me. A Lynx Hilo DAC was sending the bits to a hidden amp.

One other item of interest in-room was from SweetVinyl. In essence, their product delivers metadata including cover art and liner notes associated with the vinyl rips you're playing to whatever display device you'd like.
